game day.
The venue for today's match is the Belk Arena of Davidson College. Every time they play at home, the atmosphere on campus is very hot.
In the last training session yesterday, Coach McKillop had distributed the tactical manual to everyone and arranged the tactics properly.
Last year's Wildcats stood on the stage of the NCAA finals again after 50 years, and finally reached the quarterfinals.
This year, because the team's main insider Thomas Sandel and main ball handler Jason Richards both graduated, the team's strength has weakened. Whether it can enter the final NCAA March Madness depends on today's game.
Su Yi wore a baseball cap and earphones and walked on the way to the gymnasium. Faced with this tense atmosphere, he showed a nonchalant attitude.
During the period, I received packages and notes from countless girls, and of course, shouted and screamed excitedly.
Even the two bulging girls invited Su Yi to have dinner together after the game.
Su Yi hummed a ditty and walked past the girls without being disturbed at all, because he was used to this kind of scene.
Every time there are a bunch of hot girls coming up to strike up a conversation and surround yourself, oh, it's so annoying.
After all, I am a man who wants to play well, and female sex will make people ignorant. (This has nothing to do with the fact that the two protruding girls are black girls).
Arizona State University players have been warming up in the arena.
In addition to the well-known star James Harden, their inside player Jeff Ayers is also a big killer.
This power forward is very strong physically, not only can firmly control the rebound, but also has a certain mid-range shooting.His disadvantage is that his wingspan is not long, so there will be certain restrictions on the defensive end.
And their center: Eric Boateng, a black Englishman, transferred from Duke University to Arizona State University the year before last. Although he has very few scoring methods, he has perfectly integrated into the Sun Devils system. , can often pick and roll Harden and create space for Harden.
Both are Harden's right-hand men, and that's the secret behind the Sun Devils' victory over their hometown rivals Arizona this year.
After a brief break, the players of the Wildcats came out of the tunnel, and the arena erupted in cheers like a tide.
Regarding the Wildcats' focus game against Arizona State University, the school has been warming up for two weeks, and it can be said that it is highly anticipated.
Posters posted everywhere, leaflets everywhere.
The players of the Wildcats are the heroes of the whole school, and everyone is looking forward to their victory on their home court this year and their return to the NCAA finals.
The moment the players from both sides walked into the field, there were cheers in the stadium one after another.
A sharp whistle cut through the noise in the stadium.
Davidson College Wildcats: Stephen Curry (PG), Gosselin (SG), Su Yi (SF), Andrew Lovedale (PF), Ben Arison (C)
Arizona State Sun Devils: Jamal McMillan (PG), James Harden (SG), Clayden Woods (SF), Jeff Ailes (PF), Eric Boateng (C)
Ben Arison won the first jumper for the Wildcats, and the atmosphere in the field was ignited to the extreme.
The Sun Devils' tactic today is to point guard Jamal McMillan to limit Curry, and the others to defend the zone defense inside.
In Su Yi's system prompt, Arizona State University insider Jeff Ayers has a score of 86, and Eric Boateng also has a score of 71.
Whether it is height or technology, he has a big advantage over Davidson College's insiders.
Curry started to organize the offense with the ball.
Jamal McMillan, who played against him today, immediately pressed the past.
Facing a defensive player shorter than himself, Curry raised the ball directly against the defense.
The basketball bounced out of the hoop.
Andrew Lovedale tried to jam opposing power forward Jeff Ayres, but suffered.
The tall Jeff Ailes confiscated the rebound directly.
Although the atmosphere in the stadium was still very lively, Su Yi was still a little nervous, because he obviously felt that the intensity of this game was different from the previous games in his own competition area.
The inside line on the opposite side has a strong rebounding ability. If the shooting rate cannot be improved for a long time and the touch cannot be found, once the shot misses, it will be difficult to control the offensive rebound.
The Sun Devils started to organize the offense.
Wildcats shooting guard Gosselin single-handedly defends Harden.
James Harden swung the ball twice, and soon Sun Devils center Eric Boateng pulled out to cover him.
This immediately opened up space for Harden.
Harden used the screen to shoot a three-pointer directly. The inexperienced Gosselin saw Harden jumping high and wanted to interfere with him immediately.
As a result, Harden paused with a feint, and after Gosselin jumped over, he jumped up and shot.
Gosselin violated Harden's cylinder in the air, but the ball flew into the net.
Three points are valid, plus one penalty.
The unfavorable opening dampened the sound of the Belk Arena a little.
Harden made a steady free throw and the score has come to 4:0.
The Sun Devils felt relieved in the away game, and they have found the door to lock the Wildcats, that is, just strangle Curry.
If the basketball is passed to the inside, they still have confidence in their defense inside.
As soon as Curry held the ball, he faced double-teaming.
Su Yi took a good position inside, and small forward Clayton Woods stepped up.
Then Su Yi suddenly made an air cut in the opposite direction, and the moment he found the space, Curry's basketball was accurately passed through the gap.
It can be said to be an extremely precise and fast pass. This pass almost arrived at the first moment when Su Yi pulled out the space.
Small forward Clayton Woods of the Sun Devils raised his hands, trying to limit Su Yi's breakthrough, but Su Yi suddenly made a jump shot at the free throw line.
Swish!
The basketball hits easily.
Curry smiled charmingly at Su Yi: "This is what I learned in Phoenix."
After all, Curry plans to transform into a point guard after going to the NBA, so now he has to learn to exercise his vision and drive the rest of the team to score.
Su Yi and Curry high-fived to celebrate, and the atmosphere in the Belk Arena became lively again.
The Sun Devils organized the offense, and their inside still looked for every opportunity to pick and roll James Harden.
However, Su Yi found that the black small forward Clayton Woods, who was three centimeters shorter than himself, was stuck in Su Yi's position.
"Yellow-skinned monkey, let's see how I beat you up today?" Clayton Woods was annoyed by Su Yi's easy score on his head just now.
"Who is talking, it's too dark in front of me, I can't see." Su Yi confronted him tit for tat. He saw from the system prompt that this person only had a score of 62, and observed that his chances of defense were equivalent to no defense. Know where his confidence comes from.
"Discrimination! You are racist! I'm going to blow you up today!"
This guy looks like he's about to cry.
"Poor inferiority complex," Su Yi sneered and shook his head.
Then Clayton Woods began to ask for a position again, insisting on playing Su Yi.
